St. Louis, MO, September 11, 2026 — The Miniature Museum of Greater St. Louis sustained significant damage to its large glass windows following a street takeover event that occurred in the Bevo Mill neighborhood on September 6th. The cracks in the windows are attributed to the intense heat generated by a car that was torched in the vicinity of the museum during the incident.

The extent of the damage and the precise cost of the necessary repairs have not been fully detailed, but the museum has stated that the repairs will be costly.
In response to the financial burden of these repairs, the museum has initiated a fundraising effort to help cover the expenses. Details on how to contribute to this effort are available through the museum’s channels.
